Courses

The Full-time MBA Programme is innovative, flexible and career-focused, and is designed for those who have an undergraduate background in business. The programme consists of 56 credits based on a lock-step system that delivers core competencies and is completed in less than two years.

Elective courses begin during the third and fourth semesters of the programme while core courses are covered in the first two semesters. The curriculum of the programme is designed around a framework that accelerates growth and the acclamation of new global perspectives and leadership skills. Students think critically across the subjects of management, economics, marketing and finance, business law, and technology. 12 of the courses are electives while the other 17 are core courses. Below is a diagram of the first year of the programme, which contains all of the core courses, provided by UM School of Business.

A One-year, Accelerated MBA Programme is also offered that contains 35 credits and no summer classes. The programme is designed exactly like the full-time MBA programme but is only composed of 20 courses, seven of which are electives. The Executive MBA Programme is designed for professionals who seek a comprehensive understanding of business covering a wide range of contemporary business issues and practices. The courses are designed to help executives think critically, improve their decision-making abilities and enhance their functional and strategic skills in the business environment.

The programme begins each January and classes meet 40 Saturdays per year over eight semesters for a total of 23 months.  A five-week break is included during the summer and classes are held from 8 AM to 5 PM while exams are held on Friday evenings.  The programme contains 48 credit hours.

The curriculum is designed to be very similar to the MBA programme, but participants can pursue special areas of interest that match their career paths and meet their individual goals. Course materials are presented through a mixture of case studies, lectures and group discussions, and extensive interaction with faculty members, while also integrating research into the curriculum.  Below is a diagram of the elective concentrations executives can choose to pursue, provided by UM School of Business.

Executive Education Programmes are also offered in open-enrollment and customised programmes designed to help enhance the professional knowledge and management skills of key managers and senior executives in businesses. All of the programmes are designed by the school faculty and enable professions to add basic business courses to their portfolios and improve upon their leadership skills.
